Battleship Potemkin
Odessa Ukraine Travel Sight-Seeing Guide by Victoria Trix
When you travel to Odessa Ukraine you will notice that there are a lot of beautiful buildings and tons of history that you will probably want to explore. In this article we will explore some of the most popular sights that tourists are constantly traveling to Odessa to see.
For one, the Potemkin Stairs are a very popular choice among tourists and Ukrainian's alike. The Potemkin Stairs were named after a rebellious battleship and are the formal entrance to the city when coming from the sea. The stairs were built from the year 1837 through the year 1841 and were designed by F. Bofford. These stairs are just the first sight that you should be seeing on your trip to Odessa Ukraine.
The next sight that should be seen is the Odessa Opera & Ballet Theater. This magnificent building was constructed in the eighteen hundreds and is one of the oldest buildings in Odessa. Ballets which featured Anna Pavlova and other performers such as Peter Tchaikovsky have been performed in this amazing building. The interior of the Opera & Ballet Theater is breathtakingly beautiful and is decorated in a distinct Louis XVI style, very rich. This exquisite inside decor is in done on the beautiful style of Viennese baroque and then blended with elements that will remind you of the Italian Renaissance along with the French rococo.
City hall is another beautiful building that you will not want to miss when you are sight-seeing in Odessa Ukraine. City hall was the place that was formerly the old stock exchange location in Odessa. In this historic town, trading is the main source of many peoples income, so that makes it only natural the ideal location of the stock exchange would be located in City Hall.
The Svyato-Preobrazjenskiy Cathedral is another sight that can not be missed when you are sight-seeing in Odessa. This building was built on the one hundredth anniversary of the foundation of Odessa. This cathedral is a beautiful building and while fairly recently built; it is still one building that is worth taking a look at.
Finally, the Laokoon is the last stop you should make on your sight-seeing trip. This beautiful statue is located right in front of the amazing archeological museum and it is of the Greek pagan priest. The famuous painting by El Greco 'Laokoon' is the inspiration for this amazing sculpture and if you get a chance to see it up close, you are very lucky.
So there you have it! All of the sights that you absolutely need to see when you are in Odessa - now there are many others that are not listed here. If you are looking to sketch out more sights for your trip to Odessa there are many resources available online. Odessa also holds many different museums that hold a lot of history of this Ukraine town, so be sure to add those into your sight-seeing trip.

Battleship Potemkin - AC3 $19.99 After the success of Strike (1924), Sergei Eisenstein was commissioned by the Soviet government to make a film commemorating the uprising of 1905. Eisenstein's scenario, boiled down from what was to have been a multipart epic of the occasion, focussed on the crew of the battleship Potemkin. Fed up with the extreme cruelties of their officers and their maggot-ridden meat rations, the sailors stage a violent mutiny. This, in turn, sparks an abortive citizens' revolt against the Czarist regime. The film's centerpiece is staged on the Odessa Steps, where in 1905 the Czar's Cossacks methodically shot down rioters and innocent bystanders alike. To Eisenstein, this single bloody incident was the crucible of the successful 1917 Bolshevik revolution, and the result was the "Odessa Steps sequence," which is often considered the most famous sequence ever filmed; it is certainly one of the most imitated, perhaps most overtly by Brian De Palma in The Untouchables (1987). This triumph of Eisenstein's "rhythmic editing" technique occurs in the middle of film, not as the climax, as more current film structure might do it. All the actors in the film were amateurs, selected by Eisenstein because of their "rightness" as types for their roles. Pictorial quality varies from print to print, but even in a duped-down version, Battleship Potemkin is must-see cinema. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi |

Red Mutiny: Eleven Fateful Days On The Battleship Potemkin $9.79 In 1905 more than seven hundred Russian sailors mutinied against their officers aboard the battleship Potemkin, one of the most powerful battleships in the world. Led by the charismatic firebrand Matyushenko, they risked their lives to take control of their ship and fly the red flag of revolution. What followed was a violent port-to-port chase that spanned eleven harrowing days and came to symbolize the Russian Revolution itself. This pulse-pounding story alternates between the opulent court of Nicholas II and the drama on the high seas. Neal Bascomb combines extensive research and fresh information from Soviet archives to tell the true story of the deadliest naval mutiny in history. Red Mutiny is a terrific adventure filled with epic naval battles, heroic sacrifices, treachery, bloodlust, and the rallying cries of freedom. |
